Security mesh standard improvement, modification and design

ABSTRACT

The Post (or “standard”) has hook type “catches” (an upper one upwardly directed and a lower one downwardly directed) and a top protection plate (or “head grip”). The catches serve to attach security mesh fence and the plate serves to allow protection from the upper catch and also driving the post into the ground.

Be it known that I Peter Cooksley, a citizen of New Zealand, residing atPukekohe, South Auckland, New Zealand has invented certain new anduseful improvements in ‘THE SHAPE, FUNCTION AND SIZE’ of security meshstandards, of which the following is a specification and reference tothe drawings accompanying.

The present application is based upon apparatus I have devised andemployed for the purpose of improving security mesh standard design tohigh efficiency. This new design drastically reduces the risk ofpotential injury during the standard installation and removal process.

The improvements include a unique design and an improved system for theinstallation and removal of the ‘SECURITY MESH NETTING’ by means of amodified ‘SECURITY MESH STANDARD’.

To this end, I have constructed improvements in the shape and size ofsecurity mesh standards, in such a manner that the installation andremoval of security mesh netting is faster, safer and more affordable.

The type of ‘SECURITY MESH STANDARDS’ in which the last name featuresare designed to a specific geometrical proportion, and this form Igenerally employ.

In constructing my modified ‘SECURITY MESH STANDARDS’I have employed two“Catches” (of steel and/or other material, featuring flexible and/orrobust qualities) of specific geometrical angulations and locations, forthe purpose of securing the security mesh netting to the modified andimproved ‘SECURITY MESH STANDARDS’.

There is NO need for tying the security mesh netting (or like materialof similar purpose) to the new design as it hooks to the new ‘SECURITYMESH STANDARD’ via the two steel catches. (The “Catches” hook and holdthe security mesh netting in place, where desired).

There is absolutely no tying of the netting required at any time, whichwill be far more effective in the provision of ‘time spent’ through theinstallation and removal of the said ‘SECURITY MESH NETTING’ (or likematerial of similar purpose) compared to that of the presently used‘SECURITY MESH STANDARDS’ which require the security mesh netting to betied to them.

The present security mesh standards are extremely dangerous to installand they have sharp edges exposed at the top end. There have been manyinjuries over the years due to the bulky and sharp-edged design of thisparticular device. They are time consuming to install and remove,because they have to be driven into the ground many times further thanmy new design. They are also extremely dangerous to persons installingor removing them, due to their sharp edged {top & bottom} design.

The accompanying drawings/illustrations are referred to as:

“The Main Illustration”: (that is, the here mentioned security meshstandard in form complete, which features the views of A, detail B,detail C and view D) is a complete drawing illustration of the main bodyof design improvement of the “SECURITY MESH STANDARD”.

VIEW A is the bottom/base view and part section of the improved form ofthe said “SECURITY MESH STANDARD” in accordance with my invention.

VIEW D is the above/top elevation and part section of the improved formof the said “SECURITY MESH STANDARD”.

The ‘Main Body’ of the standard has an overall length of at least 1000millimetres and can be increased to about 2700 millimetres while thediameter of at least 8 millimetres and can be increased to about 60millimetres.

This can be of steel construction, or like material, which featuresrobust and/or flexible qualities (refer drawing view A, detail B, detailC and view D).

In a preferred embodiment the invention's overall length of the ‘MainBody’ is 1350 millimetres with a diameter or width of 12 millimetres.This may vary in other modified forms of the device.

Two ‘Catches’ feature on the ‘Main Body’ of the standard. Where specificgeometrical angulations are required for each individual Security MeshStandard.

This may vary in modified forms of the device. The catches should be atleast 10 millimetres and can be increased to about 100 millimetres inlength. The diameter or width of the catches should be at least 3millimetres and can be increased to about 20 millimetres (refer drawingsview A, detail B, detail C and view D). The bottom catch should be 300millimetres from the base of the ‘Improved Security Mesh Standard’(refer drawing detail B). This may vary in modified forms of the device.

The top catch should be 40 millimetres from the (‘Head Grip’) top of themain body (refer drawing detail C). This may vary in modified forms ofthe device.

The ‘Head Grip’ in a preferred embodiment should have a diameter of 50millimetres and have a depth of 3 millimetres. However, this may vary inmodified forms of the device.

SECURITY MESH STANDARD IMPROVEMENT, MODIFICATION AND DESIGN FEATURES

Features within the illustrations are VIEW A, detail B, detail C andVIEW D:

The complete “Security Mesh Standard” (‘Main Body’) is viewed in thispatent description and patent claim as VIEW A, detail B, detail C andVIEW D.

The “Head Grip” or top of the “Security Mesh Standard” is viewed in thispatent description and patent claim as VIEW D.

The “Bottom Catch” of the “Security Mesh Standard” is viewed in thispatent description and patent claim as Detail B.

The “Top Catch” of the “Security Mesh Standard” is viewed in this patentdescription and patent claim as Detail C.

The two specific geometrically angulated “Steel Catches” and “Head Grip”on the security mesh standard unit should be preferably constructed asdetailed on the drawing FIG. 1. (Please view all the illustrations).

The “Head Grip” (shown as view D) has a dual purpose. Firstly inprotecting individuals from potential injury from the “Top Steel Catch”that is pointing upwards, as the “Top Steel Catch” is concealedunderneath the “Head Grip” (refer drawing FIG. 1, detail C) and secondlyas a platform for the person or persons erecting the security meshnetting to push down onto the “Security Mesh Standard” is driven intothe earth and/or ground. The netting should be secured onto the SteelCatches as desired.

The new and improved “Security Mesh Standards Main Body” has two steelcatches and a “HEAD GRIP”. This may vary in modified forms of thedevice. {e.g. extra catches maybe required depending on theapplications}.
